1. An interactive remote diagnostics, monitoring and prescriptive programming system implemented in a bi-directional communications link wherein a remote web-based expert data center and one of a telemetry module, interactive remote monitor (IRM), an extender, a patient activator and a programmer operating as a web-compatible interface medical device for an IMD are remotely linked to implement remote chronic monitoring, patient alert activation and programming in the IMD, the system comprising:

  • the remote web-based expert data center including high speed computer resources;

    a bi-directional communication system being in operable data communications with the resources at the remote web-based expert data center;

    the interface medical device coupled to the expert data center via the bi-directional communications link, wherein the expert data center chronically monitors, installs new software and alerts the patient; and
